Become a Global Citizen
The Center for Global Humanities Seminar Series (GLS 490) enables you to deepen your understanding of past and present world issues, hones your abilities of cultural analysis, and encourages you to apply your developing global perspective to your chosen discipline. Through the course, you interact directly with thought leaders who visit campus to share their scholarship.
The class meets weekly on the Biddeford Campus and travels monthly to the Portland Campus for the Health Sciences for public lectures. Prior to each lecture, you read and discuss a relevant text, while conducting further research into the speaker’s topic. In the hour preceding each lecture, you get to chat informally with the speaker. And following each lecture, you participate in the public Q&A session with our guest.
You may take the CGH course for one semester, or may enroll for a second semester and be designated a CGH Scholar.
